Can’t we all just get along?
I really don’t know what the big deal people have with cosplayers. They’re a fun lot! I’ve worked a few conventions now and I’ve seen it all! Some costumes will make you cringe, but many are really well done! An amazing amount of creativity. But it seems like they get kind of made fun of (outside the nerd scene) and that just boggles my mind. I guess it’s because liking gaming, or role playing, or cosplaying, or anything we geeky folks like tends to fall outside the norm. I guess it’s not so much counterculture as it is a subculture, but still… there’s no reason for any hating if it’s not part of the mainstream. Why can’t we have our own culture? You’d be in some deep doodoo if you were to outwardly say the same about geeks as you would say Chinese or Jewish or Irish people (just shooting off the top of my head). My point is this, it’s a culture; we’re here, we’re dorks, get used to it!
As for this comic, well, I find that the whole “jock vs nerd” thing is completely insane. There seems to be this made up line between being a nerd and a sports fanatic. If you wear a baseball jersey or the uniform shirt of your favorite hockey player… you are cosplaying. Least that’s how I see it. And what of the sports fans? Sure, it’s fun to pick on the guy who can quote any line from Star Trek, but what of the person that knows every statistic of the New York Yankees for the last decade? Where is the line? What defines unacceptable nerdom? Is it a genre thing? I highly don’t understand that as an excuse.
Bottom line… y’all are nerds! I don’t mean that meanly, I’m a nerd after all! But if you’re fanatical or passionate about anything, that makes you a nerd of that genre. As there are sci-fi nerds and fantasy nerds, there are also sports nerds, art nerds, history nerds… nerds all the way down! I think we need to stop seeing the differences between people and celebrating our similarities! It’s not a mocho thing either, since I’ve seen all makes and models of human come by my booth at the cons and, to me, it’s almost an affirmation of our unity despite any superficial factor. Well, I guess there’s still the Star Trek vs Star Wars people, but that’s a whole other topic for another time. >)
Ok got some reviews for you!
Dawn of war and dawn of war 2 both great but diffeent playstyle in a nutshell
Dawn of war= stratgy
Dawn of war 2= tactics
Also supreme commander 2 good game for $15 and is a sci-fi with water unit’s you dont see that often
All these games have steam demo’s
Also discovered this fan-made red vs blue series called the forgottten freelancers
Also who is agent california and new mexico love those states
And memorial day red vs blue season 10 starts
And i also want to thank you for getting me into red vs blue, my little pony and dr.who changed my life.
Can’t wait for Season 10.
Don’t think they’ve introduced California or New Mexico
The Dawn of War series is awesome. I loved the variety of races in the first (with Winter Assault and Dark Crusade) and the Risk-style campaign of Dark Crusade; while I preferred the story of the second.
good deal! I’ll have to check em out!
thanks for the heads up on RvB! hope this will be a great season! idk, last one was a bit actiony for me, I liked them most when they’re all random and insaney. I think the first few are still my fav seasons.
poor agent Florida though… XD
To responce to your last comic the REAL reason the economy is bad is becase people wanted to get rich! And did not care how many other’s where homeless!
This viedio will show how problems in the world are caused if it does not work i will re-do it
Re-did verson (music/clips) more intersting

Hope it works
See, if I was the “non-sports” guy (I’d be there as Bryan Fury from Tekken instead of the DBZ character pictured), I wouldn’t have hated the other guy for being a sports fan, as I am an avid watcher of multiple sports… I would have told him to eat one because he’s a Mets fan…
Phillies > Mets any day
psh, it’s all about the Rays! >D
Everyone’s passionate about something. I’m not the sporty type, but if others like it, what’s wrong with that? Unfortunately, I’m afraid those guys tend to be a bit less open about the matter.
In short, I don’t mind your football if you get off mah ponies. That or I’ll love and tolerate the st out of you! ;)
Have a nice day
we just need more of both sides being more vocal about crossover passions. like more starwars geeks at baseball games and more sports geeks with mlp action figures!
I think you’ve hit upon the crux of the problem there. Who defines what a nerd is? Way i see it, if you can quote the statisitcs for the british premier league football snce 1940 awesome stuff, im taking you to my pub quiz team. Along with the guy who knows everything there is to know about star wars and star trek.
Man my Pub quiz team is gonna ROCK!
where is this pub and how can I sign up! >D
I think you are conflating “nerd” with ^”geek”^!
They’re not exactly the same thing.
lol, yeah sorry… I tend to use them interchangeably.
Everyone is a ”nerd” for something. They just don’t want to accept that because they consider their hobby is ”cooler” and doesn’t fit with the ”nerd” term
The community would be better off if people accept the fact that ”nerd” out in many situations is normal and those ”nerds” shouldn’T be bullied because they have their preference.
I respect people’s tastes UNTIL the point where they force it down on me OR Insult my tastes. Sadly we see these two in most ”flame wars”. Subjectivity can be a big wall for us to overcome and learn to respect others.
amen bro! we all have our own things we like so why give others a hard time if we don’t like the same things?
